This morning as I walked my neighborhood there was a definite crispness of fall in the air. While I happily welcome the cooler temperatures, as the newly fallen leaves crunched under my feet I couldn’t help but feel a little melancholy over the change of seasons and the impending holiday celebrations. Don’t get me wrong, […]

::Sigh:: Where do I even begin? I had to talk to you more than your two siblings combined. I threatened through gritted teeth and commanded you to “Listen!” “Pay attention!” and “Stay with me!” all while you day-dreamed in your La-La Land at the most inopportune times and places. I had to utilize the Daddy-in-church […]

Hey Mamas — Cassie here! Today I’m SUPER excited to share with you a list of some of my favorite beauty splurges. Like seriously beyond excited. We can pretty much all admit that as moms, we don’t need a stocking full of trinkets or tons of Christmas gifts under the tree to make our holiday […]

I’m sitting down to type this – and the fact that as I do so my keyboard is getting shinier from my Sour Cream and Onion Lays chip-coated fingers doesn’t faze me. Nope, those chips are not baked. They’re greasy and they taste just like Procrastination. I’m feeling procrastinate-ey. I’m going to open up another bag […]

I’m a mom of a two-year-old. He is great. He is hilarious. He is chatty. I work full-time and have him enrolled in a local daycare/pre-school that I LOVE. And then about two weeks into the school year, I looked in his folder for his artwork and the teacher let me know that all the […]

I have come to the conclusion after lots of scientific research (read: talking to my husband and his friends) that men are not like women. This is a shocking revelation. With that being said, men apparently don’t love being called skinny. If I ever tell my husband that he’s starting to look slender, he drops […]

We are the ones responsible for our children not showing respect for police or authority figures. I know it sounds harsh, but it’s true. All of us have created this environment, where as a society, we don’t respect the authority of the police. Here is how I believe we (quietly, unknowingly) got here … We […]

The hubs and I were married nearly 11 years ago in 2006, and we had an engagement period of about 7 months. We’re in the South y’all, and you know we love our PARTIES. My side of the family in particular will find any reason to throw a festivity. My sister’s in town? PARTY. That […]

I’m not sure that there is a polite way to say this, but I don’t want to talk about my body with you. I understand that we’ve come to a point in our culture that talking about bodies is pervasive and almost expected but still, I have no interest in discussing my body with you. […]

Thanksgiving is over, and Christmas is here! Our tree is up, our boys (5 and 3) already got an early Christmas present (a new outdoor play set) and they’re watching Christmas movies. The season is all around. And now, at least for families like mine, comes the seasonal question that I must decide upon: should […]
